Art Academy of Latvia

The Art Academy of Latvia was founded in 1919, at the same time when the Republic of Latvia was formed, and has been the leading art university in Latvia for more than 100 years. Embodying the spirit of creativity and freedom, AAL has been able to stand for its independence and purposefully develop - it has become an important art institution on a regional and European scale, with the aim to provide high-quality competitive higher education and comprehensively develop art, design, and science, thus ensuring unity of creative and scientific research as well as the continuity of studies.

Along with ensuring high-quality education, artistic creativity and scientific research are carried out in the Art Academy of Latvia by the Academy's structural units, teaching staff, leading researchers, and students.
